What will happen if we are able to remember things when we were toddlers (say 1 yr. old or so)?

Asked by imrainmaker (8380points) January 1st, 2018

What will be the impact on us and also what will change w.r.t. those who are taking care of them like parents, babysitter etc.? Funny answers are also welcome!

Three years old; pounding a nail into wall to hold kitchen cabinet up, in a house my parents are building.

^They aren’t allowed here? As long as they’re inline with the question that should be fine i guess?

@imrainmaker – is that even possible? Or are you asking theoretically?

My understanding is that an infant’s brain doesn’t have the capacity to retain detailed memories, much less process and analyze them, until the kid is 2 or 2½, or sometimes later. Their brains deal with the essentials – food, crawling, walking, learning to speak – but not impressing long term memory.

@imrainmaker I believe humor is allowed after some serious answers are given. At least that was the policy formerly.

This is hypothetical question that’s why I’m fine with any sort of answers. Just want to know how the behaviour of parents would change if that was the case and I always welcome fun side of it hence the last line.
